A straight discount might be nicer for players, but offering free DLC works better for Activision. With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 slated to arrive on November 8, Activision is giving the game another push before it suddenly becomes super-uncool to be seen playing Cod Blops. Sorry, PC gamers and those outside North America-you'll still need to buy all your own DLC. This is described as a 'limited time offer,' but there's no word on when it'll end. They'll be available on store shelves 'at all major retailers' across North America from today. Fortunately for would-be new players, this is being redressed a little with a new offer.Ī download token for the first map pack, First Strike, will be included for free in specially-marked Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of Cod Blops, publisher Activision has announced. With today's launch of the third Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer map pack, Annihilation, it now costs almost as much to buy all of the downloadable content as it does to buy the game itself.
